Directing
A deaf security guard on the night shift observes a man in a midst of a crisis: they find a new way to communicate.
A young deaf girl comes to live on a boat owned by a big talker. She makes contact with the people – and the gerbil – which inhabit this world via written notes, gesture, and dance before a small but significant death pushes her to make judgments about these relationships.
A death ruptures a close-knit deaf community and power dynamics shift as people begin to question the woman they’ve all looked up to. Her daughter is caught up in the changing currents, and the turmoil isn’t helped by the presence of a hearing newcomer.
